Compassion: One reason why Brit libraries spending so little on books?
Call it compassion, call it a protect-your-employees system, whatever you call it, this could be one reason why British libraries are spending so little on books–just nine percent or whatever.

Perhaps it’s time for an efficient TeleRead approach where less money would go for concrete and steel and more would be available for books and people.
